Sufficiency Practice: regarding purpose

how do you feel

“ I wake up each morning committed to both serving and savoring the world. This makes it very hard to prioritize my day!"

I love to think about big and important questions, except doing so usually leads to behaviors that make my life more complicated.

My favorite practices when I need deep clarity and inspiration these days are:

Practice One:
Looking at my weekly calendar on Sunday afternoons, and if any day that week doesn’t feel in my body as an uncompromised YES, it is likely that I have over scheduled, or have signed up for something that is not mine uniquely to do.I practice saying no, unless I am a full bodied yes to the invitation or request.These two practices allow me to bias the pleasurable knowing of my body and nervous system as a requisite to be able to serve Life wholeheartedly.
Being wholehearted is a function of saying no until one's “yes” is full bodied.
I find this practice to be one that requires presence and commitment each day and each week. It is a practice as it brings togther the inner and outer dimensions of who we are and it’s aim the deep integration of the inner and outer worlds and head/heart and hara. This is a practice of deep integrity.

Practice Two: Making Contact
Another way to discern Purpose in my lived experience has to do with having each interaction I have with Life bye an opportunity to “make contact “ with something greater than myself. This morning when I walked into my yoga class only half prints, lost in my planning minds, I made an intention to connect to something greater than myself. That intention was enough o make my Soul available to be touched by spirit. I didn’t have to strategize or manipulate myself to do this, I merely needed to seat the intention and allow for grace to happen. When I live my day withte intention to have each engagement with life touch into something greater, than my life seems to flow and a sones oof well being and purpose permeates.
